Network Management
The Network Management module is a mandatory module of TeemIp. It groups the CIs that are closely linked to network: existing ones that are inherited from iTop (Network interfaces and VLANs) and new ones available in TeemIp only (WAN links, DNS domains, AS numbers…).
Overview of all CIs that belong to the module are displayed under the Network group of the Overview menu of the Configuration Management module.
Network Interface
Three types of network interfaces can be defined: Fiber channel, physical or logical interfaces.
Creating a new Network Interface
In the Overview menu of the Configuration Management module, find the Network group and click on “Create a new Network Interface”. Then select the interface type in the form below:
Fiber Channel Interface
A Fibre Channel Interface, is a network interface to a high-speed network technology primarily used for connecting shared storage devices (Storage Systems in TeemIp).
Fiber Channel Interface Properties
| Name | Type | Mandatory? |
|---|---|---|
| Name | Alphanumeric string | Yes |
| Device | Foreign key to a(n) Datacenter Device | Yes |
| Speed | Decimal value (could be negative) | No |
| Topology | Alphanumeric string | No |
| WWN | Alphanumeric string | No |
Creating a new Fiber Channel Interface
Once Fiber Channel interface is selected in the interface type selection box, click apply to display the creation form:
Logical Interface
A network interface for a Virtual Machine.
Logical Interface Properties
| Name | Type | Mandatory? |
|---|---|---|
| Name | Alphanumeric string | Yes |
| MAC address | Formated alphanumeric string | No |
| Comment | Multiline character string | No |
| Speed | Decimal value (could be negative) | No |
| Virtual machine | Foreign key to a(n) Virtual Machine | Yes |
MAC address can be entered following 01:23:45:67:89:ab or 01-23-45-67-89-ab or 0123.4567.89ab format but is displayed according to choice made in Global IP Settings for the organization.
TeemIp replaces the IP Address field that appears in iTop data model by a list of IPs that may contain several pointers to IPs defined in TeemIP data model. The list appears in the following tab.
IPs can be attached to an interface regardless their status, even already allocated. This is to reflect the situation where, for instance, an IP address is set on different router interfaces.
Tabs
| Tab | Description |
|---|---|
| VLANs | VLANs that the interface is connected to |
| VRFs | VRFs that the interface is connected to |

There is no limitation in the number of IPv4s and / or IPv6s that a logical interface can host.
Creating a new Logical Interface
Once Logical interface is selected in the interface type selection box, click apply to display the creation form:

| Device | Foreign key to a(n) Connectable CI | Yes |
| MAC address | Formated alphanumeric string | No |
| Comment | Multiline character string | No |

Displaying a Domain
In the Overview menu of the Configuration Management module, find the Network group, click on “Domain” and select the item you are interested in:
Specific actions
Display Tree
The Display Tree action is visible when a list of domains is displayed.
This action is used to switch display from domain lists to trees. When no default organization is selected, a domain tree per existing organization is displayed. Otherwise, only the domain tree that corresponds to the selected organization is displayed.
Display List
The Display List action is visible when domain trees are displayed.
This action brings the display back to the standard list.
Delegate
A domain belonging to an organization can be delegated to another organization. This can only be done once the domain already exists. Delegation is not available at creation time. Conditions to delegate a domain are:
- The domain doesn't contain any host nor sub-domain
- The domain is not associated to a DNS zone.
By default, a domain can only be delegated to a child organization. However, this restriction can be lifted through the Global IP Settings.
In order to delegate a domain, click on the “Delegate” action of the “Other Actions” menu.
The following display appears:
If all delegation conditions are met, domain is effectively delegated once the “Apply” button is pressed.
Un-Delegate
A delegated domain can be returned to its original owner organization with the “Un-delegate” action. Condition to remove a delegation on a domain is that the domain has no host, no sub-domain and no zone associated zone.
In order to un-delegate a domain, just click on the “Un-delegate” action of the “Other Actions” menu. If above condition is met, delegation will be removed straight away.
